I am positive that the MGB GT V8 that won the Concours Class at MG 98 in
Hagerstown, MD was a factory MGB GT V8. It was all original and driven to
Hagerstown from Oklahoma. I am not positive of the year, but it was a
rubber bumpered car. I beleive the guy said he bought in the US, but I am
not completely sure. I know it was RHD. I have it in a 3 foot long photo,
of the entire show class, on my wall.
